Bottle said 14.4% ABV, but I would have believed it if you told me 16% or higher - very prominent alcohol which really overshadowed everything else. Full bodied bordering on syrupy. Very ripe dark fruits with an extracted/stewed fruit profile that reminded me of an overdone CdP from a hot year. Just too much alcohol and extraction for my taste.

Corked. Obvious from first sniff/sip - down the drain.
